South Italy and most of its little villages, is an area so little known to the European tourism yet in a delightful land wealthy of natural beauties, such as the Arch of Arcomagno, a natural arch of rock, entrance to an attractive coved beach, with calm turquoise sea; the Faraglioni of Capri, beautiful sea rocks in the sea of Capri, one of many in the Amalfi Coast; or the Etna Volcano, still active and one of Sicily's biggest tourist attractions. History and architecture are also very important factors of southern Italy's culture and tourist attractions, like the temple ruins of Agrigento - Sicily; Capri offering one of Italy's most beautiful piazzas (town square) in the middle of town, Piazzetta, completely closed up, giving the impression of a courtyard, surrounded by many shops and cafes and the Torre dell'Orologio (Tower of Clock); or the over 40 mt. high statue of the Christ in Maratea situated on a hill over 300 mt. high offering a most breath-taking site over the port of Maratea. Another great piece of southern Italy history, from Calabria to be exact, is the Bronzi di Riace: two magnificent bronze, human-size, male statues, found in the gulf of Riace, now showing in the museum of Reggio Calabria, representing the Greek conception of heroism and beauty for their classical composure and dynamic vitality. Great tourist attractions for both rural and coastal holidays are also the town of Rivello, based on the graceful Basilicata mountains with its typical hystorical houses that can be found in all old parts of most of southern Italy's towns, and the Trulli, typical Apulia houses with cone shaped roofs. Not to mention the delicious cuisine and friendly people, all part of a world waiting to be explored and taken advantage of.

This is the land where the deep South of Italy truly begins. Campania is the region that houses wonderful world wide known sceneries like the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento and Capri but is also doorway to other most beautiful locations of Southern Italy like Calabria with it's wonderful rugged coast, Sicily and it's romantic and historic towns like Agrigento and Taormina, and also just few hours away from Apulia and it's characteristic Trulli Houses or Basilicata with beautiful towns like Maratea.

Campania features a volcanic sea of the deepest shade of blue lined with miles of dramatic coast and dotted with such lovely islands that almost seem to be tiny, brightly coloured jewels.

Sharp contrasts don't miss in this region going from the heat, noise and urban sprawl of troubled Naples to the calming qualities of Sorrento, from the romantic islands of Capri and Ischia to the undiscovered coastline of Cilento.

One typicality of Campania will never miss throughout the whole region and that's the warm welcoming as well as the calm qualities of it's people.

Climate and Environment

The mild climate, the enchanting countryside, the exuberance and the fervid imagination of its people, for over twenty-five centuries have made this region one of the most charming and sought after holiday resorts in the world.
Throughout its history the Etruscans, Greeks, Romans, Normans, Angevins, Spanish, French and Austrians arrived here in armies as conquerors, only to become captured by the sweet intensity of its colours, perfumes, flavours and songs of this happy land.

Food & Wine     Other Regional Info     

The most famous regional speciality is of course the "Pizza", the simple tomato and basil topped pizza that has become over the years a world wide known dish and with which many are familiar. Many have tried to imitate the original, but as Neapolitans say "It is best eaten in its hometown: Naples".

Campania is also very famous nationally for its buffalo mozzarella cheese, used in so many classic Italian dishes, it is very similar to the usual mozzarella cheese and can in fact be confused with it but the "Mozzarella di Bufala" has a fuller and sweeter taste.

Naples and all the towns around the coast are also very well known for the seafood dishes made with freshly caught fish along the coastline of the bay of Naples; fresh clams to make a tasty "Spaghetti alle Vongole".

As many of the Southern Italian regions Campania has it's own liquor known world wide: as Calabria has it's "Cedro", Campania has it's "Limoncello". Both liquors are made in the same way, produced by the external part of the fruit, they never miss in a house hold and are often pride of the ladies of the house that make it with their own hands. Both are best served ice-cold, Cedro is made with the fruit with the same name and only grows in the "Riviera dei Cedri" in Calabria, and Limoncello is made with freshly grown lemons.
